Very happy for you, congrats!!

Not to fret, I’m quite sure Jimmy Spags will figure out a way to tell us such news is a Jets win-win!

I definitely agree it wasn’t ideal. And the Bills were right not to just hand him the job out of the gate (say what you will, NP was always a preseason/TC beast) But I’d bet for as much as there were negatives, he also has taken some positives away from the experiences had in 2018.

I think you have to, a ring’s a ring, just like other coaches have benefited from their predecessors, see e.g., Seifert got one on Walsh’s coattails in SFO.

Even Josh for all intents and purposes was forced into a starting role much earlier than expected in his rookie year, basically from game 1, still have shudders from that Baltimore game—anyway, it didn’t destroy him, he’s flourished.

Also liked how Beane described his mindset of never resting on the roster, saying to the effect that when people tune out of preseason games in the 3rd-4th quarters, he’s tuning in to see how their 5th or 6th option at linebacker for example stacks up to our own 5th or 6th deep, and would they be better or not, or a ST ace, etc., so constantly looking for even incremental improvement anywhere possible.

“No one talks about how cold it is to play in Green Bay, and they didn’t say it about Buffalo when Jim Kelly was here—having a franchise QB makes your team attractive to FA’s…” Bingo.

Clearly!

I say give me all the Bills propaganda and banter you got! As an out of towner constantly jonesing for my Bills audio fixes whilst sitting in Atlanta traffic, you can do a lot worse than streaming OBL, imho. And how soon so many of you apparently forgot one John Murphy who was constantly berated on these boards as a terrible radio guy, and CB when guesting usually got better reviews than Murph. I know what I’m getting when I listen, and am perfectly content with it, as it’s nonstop positive Bills talk!

Link is worth another look!

Apologies if posted upthread, but it looks like Rosen is well on his way to washing out of yet another opportunity… https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/148828-49ers-rosen-taken-couple-steps-practice-according-shanahan/

Say what you will, CB 2 was never a glaring weakness on this team since Levi’s been here, imho.

Thanks OP, this should be required reading for all of the national media types you referenced—it would be a helpful cheat sheet for their hot takes!

When Allen’s grandma passed away who he was very close with, I remember Daboll & Allen sharing a very genuine moment after he went off against the Seahawks…here’s an article with this along with some other nuggets: https://www.sportscasting.com/brian-daboll-had-a-touching-embrace-with-josh-allen-after-the-tragic-death-of-his-grandmother/ “Yes, he wants his players to be tough out on the field, but he also wants them to know that it’s OK to be a human being with real emotions. When Josh Allen lost his grandmother, he credited Daboll with giving him a safe space to let out his feelings in an embrace after his first game since her death.”

Time to saddle up and purchase your Allen jerseys in case you’ve been holding out!

Talk about me helping the Jets dodge a bullet! You’re welcome Mr. Johnson, that you never had to worry about the possibility of paying that kind of money to Sam!

Training camp goggles. Right now even this guy would look like a world-beater if throwing shoulder to shoulder with Cam…

I do recall several claims about the “quality” of the Jests FO and HC a couple years running …

I noticed that Dunn Tire was already a Bills sponsor back then too—that’s an impressive run for them

This was a very cool find OP! Really enjoyed that blast from the past—echoing others upthread, where did all the time go??

Bills: -Allen will throw for over 400 yds/game not less than 6 times; -The Bills will lead the AFC in total sacks; NFL: -Davis Mills will start at least 8 games for the Texans; -Fitzy will make the playoffs this year, starter or not.

I have some family that recently moved to the KC area this year, and am seriously toying with the idea of going out there for a visit and the game—I know it would be epic to see the Bills win there .

Happy birthday coach!!! It was also nice to see McD giving Marv a birthday shoutout (including the nugget of them both being William & Mary alums—serendipity!) at the top of his presser.

You sir, have just won yourself post of the day!
